Schneider Electric Altivar 71 Drive-Variable speed drives

The Altivar 71 is factory-set for the most common operating conditions:
• Macro configuration: Start/Stop
• Motor frequency: 50 Hz
• Constant torque application with asynchronous motor and sensorless flux vector control
• Normal stop mode on deceleration ramp
• Stop mode in the event of a fault: freewheel
• Linear, acceleration and deceleration ramps: 3 seconds
• Low speed: 0 Hz
• High speed: 50 Hz
• Motor thermal current = rated drive current
• Standstill injection braking current = 0.7 x rated drive current, for 0.5 seconds
• No automatic starts after a fault
• Switching frequency 2.5 kHz or 4 kHz depending on drive rating
• Logic inputs:
– LI1: forward, LI2: Forward (2 operating direction), 2-wire control on transition
– L13, L14, LI5, LI6: inactive (not assigned)
• Analog inputs:
– AI1: speed reference 0-+10 V
– AI2: 0-20 mA, inactive (not assigned)
• Relay R1: The contact opens in the event of a fault (or drive off).
• Relay R2: Inactive (not assigned)
• Analog output AO1: 0-20 mA, inactive (not assigned)
